Full Time Job Placement or MSF?

Hey y'all, I am a senior having a tough time in the job market, trying to find a plan for after graduation, which is in 3 weeks. Would you recommend entering an MSF program or to continue to job hunt? If I was not to enter the program, I would be continuing to find a full time placement while studying for my level 1 CFA. So a difficult decision coming up quick that I would like advice on. Thank you in advance.
